ROFL! That's like saying whoever designed the P-38, U-2, and SR-71 was not an aircraft designer.
You need to google "Larry Renger model plane". If the first few hits from "all" are not enough, be SURE to check out the first few hits from "Images".
Lot's of famous stuff there, firsts for model rocketry boost gliders, and also a hell of a lot of popular and famous sport R/C model aircraft.
Although, to be fair, the prototype he made up for the Astro Blaster was different (had a different name too but looked much the same other than a few details). For whatever reasons, someone else took over the design for the final kit version.
Did you google for and find instructions snd plans for the Astro Blaster on the internet? They are out there. The instructions would have indicated what steps to take, in what sequence, to avoid painting yourself into a corner like you apparently have. Or did you just "wing it"?
Perhaps if you posted in another forum , which has a rocket boosted glider subforum, you might find some help on what you could do to solve the problem as it now exists. I do think there is a not-too-hard fix, which has been done before with a similar model, similar to what Renger’s original prototype had done.
